Sina Athar Hospital explosion - Iran

Some interesting reports on twitter about an explosion in Northern Iran over night

#BREAKING
June 30—Tehran, #Iran
Major explosion reported in northern Tehran near Sina Athar Hospital. The hospital is said to be burning & locals say patients are still inside.

however, there are reports this was actually a CTI/MRI Facility and not just a hospital.

One local says the burned facility is not a hospital, but a CT scan & MRI center in Tehran's Shariati district near Quds Square outside Taleghani Hospital in Mahrozadeh St.

Some people are suggesting this was actually a site Iran used for research and testing for nuclear weapons, the fact its a CT/MRI facility would be the perfect cover.

Some of the pictures coming out of the flash during the 2nd explosion look quite bright.


so, if this facility was used for research and it was just sabotaged exploding its material throughout the city.. it could be big..

might be worth watching the radiation monitors for the next day or so.

3 mystery explosions in Iran now over the past week. If we get another one then it looks like Bibi and Trump are upping the tempo

Who are these people?

Sources?

Links?

I looked at the Twitter link you posted and didn't see any mention.

Speculating?

Yikes! I am trying to figure out what could have caused that secondary explosion. There was a good amount of force, with debris going almost vertical. What could cause that in a hospital or CT / MRI setting? It didn't look like a natural gas explosion …. or an explosion from an oxygen tank either. Wtf.

My guess is the Arabs have told Bibi and Trump they will accept annexation of the West Bank (which was penned in for today) as long as the Iranian regimes attempt to go nuke is curtailed. The timing is spot on. Expect lots more 'mystery' explosions ahead

Why would an MRI site be good cover for testing nukes? MRIs are powered by magnets and don't emit any radiation plus the scanner and separate area for the radiographer/technician is smaller than a shipping container. There's neither the available space to test or assemble anything and no legitimate source of radiation to act as a cover.

Nothing more unifying than a could ol middle east conflict !

He probably meant a hospital in general due to the radiation treatment facilities for xray and cancer treatment. That would be my guess anyway.

Too right and if the West don't get it on with Iran right or wrong depending on whose side of the fence you sit on and let's stay neutral here, then China is going to gain a forward base right on the edge of the Middle East and in the Persian Gulf........................ China is doing a massive amount of joint collaboration deals with Iran right now, suppose it's Iran's only hope of keeping the English speaking world / Israel/ Arab world from taking her down. Iran is doing loads of deals with China and this might well mean at some point in time a China that spans from the Korean border all the way to the Persian Gulf! Maybe this is what China's original move into Tibet and now knocking on Indian territory is all about, to create a massive Chinese wedge that takes them all the way to the edge of Europe

err......................... Something's going on in Iran girls and guys and it looks like a campaign

Latest fire at a plant today

A fire broke out at a power station in southwestern Iran Saturday, Iranian media reported, the latest in a string of fires and explosions, some of which have hit sensitive sites.

The blaze, which affected a transformer in the power station in the city of Ahvaz, was put out by fire fighters and electricity was restored after partial outages, Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi, a spokesman for state-run power company TAVANIR, told the semi-official news agency Tasnim.

There have been several other incidents at facilities across the country recently.

A chlorine gas leak occurred at a unit of the Karoon petrochemicals plant near the port of Bandar Imam Khomeini on the Gulf, the Iranian oil ministry’s SHANA news agency reported.

"Some employees who were present near the unit suffered minor injuries (because of chlorine inhalation)," the plant's director told SHANA, adding that the leak was stopped.

On Thursday, a fire broke out at Iran's Natanz nuclear facility but officials said operations were not affected.

A former official suggested the incident could have been an attempt to sabotage work at the plant, which has been involved in activities that breach an international nuclear deal.

On Tuesday, 19 people were killed in an explosion at a medical clinic in the north of the capital Tehran, which an official said was caused by a gas leak.

On June 26, an explosion occurred east of Tehran near the Parchin military and weapons development base that the authorities said was caused by a leak in a gas storage facility in an area outside the base.

Iran is openly building nuclear hospitals with assistance of IAEA and others:

theiranproject.com...

Many believe it is just cover to enrich to 20% for 'medical research', while actually developing more expertise needed for the jump to weapons grade.

I am not aware of any proof of the weapons research, but .... common sense should make one suspicious of why a country with open sewers on most roads would be spending 1b on 3 or 4 of these facilities.


Power generation requires no higher than 4.5%, while weapons grade is around 90%.

The articles in the link show Iran is openly admitting that these are nuclear research facilities, but claiming the research is only for medical purposes.

Yet more...............................

and another explosion........................................

especially found this bit amusing................

"with the denial of the explosion, Iranian media reported that the mayor of Garmdareh had stated that the explosion was caused by gas tanks, but it was later discovered that the quoted mayor had died over a year ago and that the quoted news was from years ago, according to the Independent Persian."

Iran produces most of the worlds medical radio-isotopes, the only other reactor producing them in the world is in Canada. The IAEA have scanners and tamper proof seals on everything so nothing can leave the site or breach the enrinchment thresholds in place.

That doesn't appear to be accurate. This site lists 9 of the top global medical radioisotope producers, and Iran isn't one of them.
